Amazon deals: Board Games! Plus Avatar, FireTV, Destiny, more!

(Yesterday's post has deals on Chromecast, Roku, PSTV, Kindle, and games and movies, while Sunday's short post has awesome deals on Arrow, the Mel Brooks Collection, Warehouse 13, British Mysteries, and classic shows including Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, and Naked City.)

I've got a busy day, but a few deals are worth mentioning.

First, the DotD is on Board Games! Good ones, like Zoolereto, 7 Wonders, Takenoko, Munchkin, Dominion, Five Crowns, Love Letter, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Ticket to Ride, Acquire, and more! All are 40-62% off, and ridiculously cheap (Dominion and TTR under $20 is something you just don't see.

And the video game DotD is on Destiny for $29.99 (50% off) for the PS4 or XBone.

There's a DotD on Logitech devices (mainly keyboards and mice, but also some speakers and other accessories), with discounts ranging from 33-74% off.

And a fourth DotD offers V-MODA M-80 Headphones for $79.99 (65% off, about $30 off other deals).

And the free Android App of the Day is Songsterrr, which a lot of folks needing chords and tabs on the go really like.

Other deals include LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 for the Wii for $7.99 (60% off), and it includes the DVD of the first movie. I actually prefer the LEGO games before they added voice actors, and this is one of the last games in the series to do that.

In movies, the three-disc extended edition of Avatar on DVD is $10 (71% off).

In electronics, the Amazon Fire TV is $79 (20% off), joining the Chormecast and Roku deals from earlier.

And finally, for kids, the LeapFrog LeapReader Reading and Writing System is $34.99 (30% off, about $10 off other deals), and the LeapFrog LeapReader Learn to Read, Volume 1 set that works with it is $9 (55% off, also about $10 off other deals).

Fantasy football: The elimination

From the Yahoo automatic recap:

"If [Adam's team] had played [the top seed] every week, they would be 5-9 this season."

and

"[Adam's team] ranked first in the league in points per game with 103.65."

So I guess that's consolation?

I could, theoretically, have made it closer if I'd started Golden Tate instead of Josh Gordon, Jordan Reed instead of Martellus Bennett, Vincent Jackson instead of Megatron (ha!), and Joe Flacco instead of Peyton (yeah, right), but even those bits of hindsight would have left me with a (closer) loss. The other team got huge performances from Beckham and Antonio Brown and the Baltimore defense, and just had my number this week. My offense, as has been often the case, was pretty much all about Foster and Bell.

Ah, well.

Side story: Junior year of high school, I qualified for the NY State debate championships, where I promptly went 0-4. And led the entire division in scoring (Lincoln-Douglas Debate in the '80s used a 0-30 point scale; I managed to lost big and lose close each time). Guess this is the fantasy football version of that.

Anyway, now I get to play for third place, for the second year in a row. I do appreciate how far I've gotten -- we've got a pretty parity-heavy league, with no team having fewer than four wins or losses.
